  • Fender The Twin red knob pot

    Does anyone have a source or a work around for the 250K linear Vol pot with DPDT switch? Fender #0026044000. I got nothing. There are a couple of out of the way online places that come up in Google, but they don't actually have them.
    It's weird, because it WAS working fine.....

    Could you use a pot intended for guitar? It wouldn't hurt to have an audio taper pot there instead of linear, it is a volume control after all.

    If the value isn't what it needs to be, slap a resistor across the pot to approximate the value you're looking for.

    Also, might have to file a flat on the shaft to fit the "D" knob, more bother. What my days are made of...

    This one might be a candidate:

        I have a 250k A30 left in stock. Possibly Fender 64708? Looks like what you need other than taper. DPDT push/pull switch.

          ...and extraordinarily high prices it would seem.
          Experience is something you get, just after you really needed it.

            I would purchase that 250KA, Enzo. What does the 30 in A30 mean?

              I believe it means 30% of resistance at mid point. Other tapers I see are like A5 where yes 5% of resistance at mid point. A10, A15, whatever they wanted.

              I'll have to dig it out. Looks like this one:

                If it is the one in the lower right corner, and it's a D shaft, I'll take it! If it's not to much of a fuss, I can pay Darren Riley if it is.

                      Was just at the old place last week, sold a bunch of arcade games. It seems someone has broken in and stole those old Tek scopes. They stole a lawn mower, a compressor, and some tools, but I was surprised thieves even knew what scopes were. They left the extra plug-ins that were on the shelf. They left the arcade videos and pinball machines alone though.

                        If you need to file an insurance claim for that stuff you can list me as a buyer who was looking for the scopes.

                          At this point, gone is gone.

                          Interestingly (to me) as my customer and I were moving arcade games out of the garage and into his truck/trailer, we had a visit from the State Police. I quickly offered my ID which still had that address on the front. (My COA was on the rear side) Said I was the owner of the property. Too bad they didn;t stop by when the thieves were there. My customer is a former sheriff's deputy, but we never got as far as having to show his ID. I had volunteered mine. I know the guy ran me as he sat in the driveway in his cruiser a while before leaving.

                            Bet you half a doughnut they'll flog 'em on Craigslist. That is, if they already haven't.

                              I looked. Could have happened several months ago.
